Tiki Princess Hold and Win Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Fans of the Tiki Tumble slot may wonder when they’ll next get to play in a tropical jungle. Well, look no further, because Tiki Princess Hold and Win from Synot has beautiful trees leading to a beautiful beach overseen by a beautiful Pacific Islander princess. The 5 reels and 20 paylines may sound simple, but you’ve also got some pretty complex and interesting bonus features, including free spins.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

There’s a jungle, full of thick, dark trees and statues from ancient civilisations. There’s a beach, all golden sand and beautiful blue sea. And there’s Tiki Princess Hold and Win, taking place between the two, ruled by the titular beautiful princess on the wild symbol.

The immediate foreground of the reels is light palm trees and grasses that wave slightly in the breeze. As you go further back you cross the sand and reach the rippling waters, behind which you can see yet another island. Between them are the reels, heavy looking blocks bearing shiny looking fruits (fruit machine staples like cherries and lemons, not exotic alternatives, which is a shame) and colourful tiki masks. It’s a tropical paradise, made even more idyllic by the calypso melody playing in your ears.

Tiki Princess Hold and Win RTP and Variance

Tiki Princess Hold and Win just about manages to get itself amongst the best modern slots in terms of RTP. Its 96.02% is just the sort of average you want, though as always you need to remember it is only an average. It’s calculated from lots of spins over an extended session, which means individual deviations may occur, just as they do in other Synot demo slots. That room for variation is part of the fun, especially in a slot with no official variance information. 

How to Play Tiki Princess Hold and Win

One of the best things about free slot games is you can enjoy this fun, tropical game without the stress of gambling real money:

1. We’ve put together this helpful guide, but there is in-game help as well. Just go to the first button under the reels.
2. The menu has two options, for the help page and the paytable. Between them you’ll find explanations of every symbol, button, line and feature.
3. Moving along, you’ll see the displays for your current balance and win. Look carefully and make a responsible decision regarding how much you can afford to lose and still walk away happy. Stick to that budget.
4. If your bet needs adjusting, you can use the plus and minus signs either side of the display. Alternatively, go straight to the max bet button.
5. Skip over the spin and autoplay buttons a minute and head to the last button under the reels, if you want to adjust the sound. Click through loud, medium, quiet and mute.
6. Now it’s time to decide between spin and autoplay. Autoplay means between 10 and 1000 spins before the reels stop turning, or setting it to go indefinitely. Unfortunately, it won’t stop automatically on your limits.

Always play responsibly. Take regular breaks and don’t chase losses.

Tiki Princess Hold and Win Bonus Features

Expanding Wild

Simple but exciting, when the wild appears on a reel and could be what you need to complete a line, it expands to fill the entirety of that reel.

Hold and Win

You may have encountered Hold and Win games before. The feature starts when you find at least six clam shells, and you’ll get 3 re-spins. Try and fill all 15 positions on the reels with Hold and Win symbols. Each symbol has its own value, collect them all for the biggest prizes:

Mini = 20x

Minor = 50x

Major = 100x

Grand = 1000x

Free Spins

You get 6 free spins for three or more scatters. This round is played with a different paytable, and expanding wilds only appear on the fifth reel. What is exciting is that the second, third and fourth reels spin together, like they’re one and the same. You can win 3 more free spins if the scatter fully fills the central reels, and Hold and Win is still triggerable.

Tiki Princess Hold and Win Review
